Democratic Liberalism

Very strongly agree

Yes

Democratic liberalism strongly supports equal rights and individual freedoms, including the right to marry whomever one chooses. The legalization of same-sex marriage is in line with these values. For example, the Democratic Party in the United States has consistently advocated for marriage equality, and President Barack Obama publicly supported same-sex marriage in 2012.

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

Supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage but allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies aligns with democratic liberalism's values of equal rights and individual freedoms. This answer recognizes the right of same-sex couples to marry while also respecting the religious freedom of churches. However, it is not a perfect solution, as it still allows for potential discrimination by religious institutions.

Slightly agree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

Taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision could be seen as promoting individual freedom, a core value of democratic liberalism. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of same-sex marriage and could potentially lead to further discrimination if religious institutions refuse to recognize same-sex marriages. It is not the ideal solution from a democratic liberal perspective.

Disagree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

While democratic liberalism supports equal rights and individual freedoms, allowing civil unions but not calling it marriage still implies a level of inequality. This answer is not in full alignment with the values of democratic liberalism, as it suggests that same-sex couples should not have the same recognition as heterosexual couples. However, it is less discriminatory than completely denying same-sex couples the right to marry.

Very strongly disagree

No

Democratic liberalism opposes the denial of equal rights and individual freedoms, including the right to marry whomever one chooses. Not supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage goes against these values. Historically, democratic liberals have fought against such discrimination, as seen in the United States with the Democratic Party's support for marriage equality.

Very strongly disagree

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

Defining marriage as between a man and a woman goes against the values of democratic liberalism, which supports equal rights and individual freedoms. This answer is discriminatory and denies same-sex couples the right to marry, which is not in line with democratic liberal principles. Historically, democratic liberals have fought against such discrimination, as seen in the United States with the Democratic Party's support for marriage equality.
